Let me introduce myself as a longtime fellow fan of The Land Before Time series as well as of movies and TV in general. I often visit the IMDB boards to talk about movies with other online fans, but on that site, I didn't have anyone to chat about the LBT series with, because except for the board of the original, all the boards of the LBT movies there are not very active. Which was a shame, because being such a long series there was plenty to talk about.
So I went looking for another site recently, and found The Gang of Five. I have been hanging around reading it for a while, especially liking the General Discussion Board, and I must say I think this is one of the friendliest (and most polite and least opinionated :) ) forums I have encountered on the Internet. I didn't join before because I didn't think I would have much time to actually become a talking member but now I think I would like to try. My username on IMDB is rainbow-honey so when I came here in reference I translated that into the "Land Before Time language" and made up SkyColor-TreeSweets (the latter half being the closest variant I could think of :smile ) as a username.
Anyways, this is getting kind of lengthy, so here I am. I hope that you will like having me and I will make good friends with you.

Hi everyone, thank you for all the welcomes :wave I don't know yet if I could reply to you all individually so I will do so in a post one by one
@ bushwacked- Hello. No genres in particular, I generally could work with anything I view. Unless animation counts as a genre; I mostly like all the animated movies I see. The rest of them drama, fantasy, sci-fi, action, etc, may be either hit or miss with me. Maybe my views might change when I become older or something.
@ Mumbling - Hi Iris!
:wave I hope to see you around too.
@ Pterano- Aww, thank you I'm glad you like my username. I like yours as well as I also love Pterano.
:)
@ Kor- No favorite movies because it is hard for me to choose favorites a lot of the time. My very favorite Land Before Time characters are the five protagonists although I like- most of all the characters in general.
@jansenov- I mean it; people on this site hardly argue when they disagree. On IMDB-and on other forums I have seen- it's quite different, sometimes annoyingly so.
Thank you and I'm glad to hear. I wouldn't call myself a movie expert either, just a movie fan, who likes them and still has a lot to learn, and so I'm happy to meet and talk to other film buffs.
@LettuceBacon& Tomato- I like your "LBT" username too. :D
If you want the longer explanation of the original name behind this name, it goes something like this: I was thinking of how I wanted other people to view me when they talked to me (when I was signing up for IMDB some years back), and I thought that I wanted them mostly to see me as a person who is colorful (as in interesting) and sweet (as in kind). So I thought up a name that would-playing on some puns- express being "colorful" and "sweet" and came up with rainbow-honey.
Thank you for the greetings and I'll try to have more time to post.
@ Malte- Thank you it's a pleasure to meet you.

With so many movies I can see it being hard to pick even 20 or 30 favorites.
